内容简介

Born to an unfortunate heritage, orphaned, unsympathetically raised, and then abandoned, Edgar Allan Poe struggled for greatness in an adverse social and economic climate -- a setting not improved by his fiery temperament and caustic criticism of others. Poe's melancholy brilliance, his passionate lyricism, and his tormented soul would make him one of the most widely read and original writers in American literature. Here, in one volume, are his classic short works: masterpieces of horror, terror, humor, and adventure -- and the finest lyric and narrative poetry of this ill-fated genius whose influence on both prose and verse continues to this day.

Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. This edition of Great Tales And Poems Of Edgar Allan Poe contains the original Pocket Books introduction, first published in 1951, along with an updated selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further readings.

作者简介

Edgar Allan Poe (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story and is considered the inventor of the detective-fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.

He was born as Edgar Poe in Boston, Massachusetts; he was orphaned young when his mother died shortly after his father abandoned the family. Poe was taken in by John and Frances Allan, of Richmond, Virginia, but they never formally adopted him. He attended the University of Virginia for one semester but left due to lack of money. After enlisting in the Army and later failing as an officer's cadet at West Point, Poe parted ways with the Allans. Poe's publishing career began humbly, with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827), credited only to "a Bostonian".

Poe switched his focus to prose and spent the next several years working for literary journals and periodicals, becoming known for his own style of literary criticism. His work forced him to move between several cities, including Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. In Baltimore in 1835, he married Virginia Clemm, his 13-year-old cousin. In January 1845, Poe published his poem "The Raven" to instant success. His wife died of tuberculosis two years later. He began planning to produce his own journal, The Penn (later renamed The Stylus), though he died before it could be produced. On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.

Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. A number of his homes are dedicated museums today.

为薪金（每星期大概是10美元）和编辑自主权与怀特发生争执，这导致了他于1837年1月从《南方文学信使》辞职。举家迁居纽约另谋生路，但未能找到编辑的职位。克莱姆太大经营一个寄宿公寓以帮助支撑家庭。发表诗歌和小说，其中包括《丽姬娅》（后来坡称此篇为“我最好的小说”）；重新开始写已在《南方文学信使》连载过两部分的《阿瑟·戈登·皮姆》，想把它写成一部可单独出版的长篇。哈珀出版社于1838年7月出版《阿·戈·皮姆的故事》。坡举家迁费城。继续当自由撰稿人，可一贫如洗，而且仍旧找不到编辑职位，考虑放弃文学生涯。

他一生写了六七十篇短篇小说，虽然只写了四五篇推理小说，但是举世公认为推理小说的鼻祖。代表作《毛格街血案》、《玛丽·罗杰疑案》、《窃信案》和《金甲虫》都被奉为这类小说的先河，对後世起了很大影响。他在前三篇小说中塑造的业馀侦探杜宾的形象，可以说是柯南道尔笔下的福尔摩斯的前辈。据研究侦探小说的专家霍华德·海克雷夫特认为，“这个杜宾也是坡的自我理想化身，因为他自幼聪颖异常，处处想表现自己的优越，所以就把杜宾写成具有超人智力、观察入微、料事如神的理想人物，为了衬托他的了不起，又借一个对他无限钦佩、相形见绌的朋友来叙述他的事迹，此外还写了一个头脑愚钝、动机虽好而屡犯错误的警探作为对比。作案地点一般安排在锁得严严密密的暗室；埋藏赃物罪证则用明显得出人意外的方法；破案过程则用逻辑严谨、设身处地的推理（今称用心理分析学）；然後有条不紊的迫使罪犯就范归案；最终再由主人公洋洋自得、滔滔不绝的解释其全过程。这已成为坡写侦探小说的模式。”而这一模式在一百四十年来已为全世界各国侦探小说家竞相师法，不少这类作品都是步他後尘，脱不了这个窠臼。甚至被称为侦探小说之父的英国作家威尔基·柯林斯那部名作《月亮宝石》（1868）裏的侦探克夫也是在坡的影响下产生的。
